tv   On the Record With Greta Van Susteren  FOX News  May 1, 2014 11:00pm-12:01am PDT

11:00 pm
left this evening. before we go, set your dvr. record "hannity" the series. start your day with fox and friends first at 5:00. thanks for being with us. and we'll see you back here tomorrow night. the white house. >> the talking points that ambassador rice used again produced by the intelligence community for members of congress and in the interest of having everybody use the same information, used by the administration and ambassador rice on those sunday shows were divulged and like so many of the conspiracy theories that have been promulgated by republicans from the beginning of this, this one turned out to be bogus. >> oh, jay, don't go there. now, that is dumb. don't make fun of conspiracy theories when you are up to your eyeballs in not answering questions and providing information. yeah, there is a mystery. maybe a conspiracy since it only take twos to make a
11:01 pm
conspiracy. who mysteriously added the video excuse to that false narrative about benghazi? that one that ambassador susan rice was the first to peddle and why the video story even after the intelligence community said there was no video? that's a mystery. maybe even a conspiracy. and who told the president well after the video theory was bebunct that he should continue to run with that. he said it on september 18th 20rbgs 12 on the david letterman show. if that wasn't strange enough. he was still at it one week later on september 25th. he didn't correct the ladies of "the view" when they specifically brought up the video to it him. why? well, that's a mystery. that's just for starters. there is so much more including why did the white house hide ben rhodes' email until a court ordered them to sr. s. sur ren item that. that's a conspiracy maybe even a conspiracy. jay, don't go pointing fingers like that. that's not all. >> voluntarily, in response to some bogus partisan claims made by republicans to reporters about what
11:02 pm
were -- what had happened in the compilation of the original talking points around the benghazi attack, we produced that material publicly, which showed that we were right and they were wrong, that they were mischaracterizing those emails and those points said. >> oh, who, joe wouldn't go there either, jay. whoa. as ricki ricardo used to say on "i love lucy" you and the white house have a lot of splaining to do. for starters why did it take a lawsuit and two years to turn over that ben rhodes email it was turned over information on benghazi. now you are all doing the two step saying the ben rhodes email was not about benghazi but the broader picture who wants to be a millionaire is that your answer? ben rhodes email released just last week. >> whether it was released monday or a week ago monday or whatever, it doesn't
11:03 pm
change the fundamental facts about the so-called talking points which, despite great efforts by your news organization and others, have been, you know, proven not to be a conspiracy. >> whoa, jay, wouldn't be so dismissive about that one. the fact that the ben rhodes email was released a week ago by court order more than a year and a half after the benghazi attack makes a big difference. it's not just as you say, jay, whatever. you hit it. you hid the email. why? well, you start hiding stuff like documents that have been subpoenaed, as you did here, reasonable people get real suspicious. let's face it people only hide the documents that are damning. so, no whatever jay but rather what else? what else are you hiding? but still no answers, just aversions. >> what this point makes is that these protests are outside of our embassy in cairo and' cartombs and
11:04 pm
elsewhere. fury over a video. that's what your news organizations were reporting. that's what we understood to be true. and that was simply the point that was being made by mr. rhodes. >> whoa, did you listen carefully to what he just said? note. the questions we have are not about caro, tunas or cartoon. it was benghazi. we have unanswered questions about benghazi. speeding the media off to other embassies as he did is a diversion. it's not answering questions about benghazi. but, get this: >> how much time has been spent focused on talking points that could have been spent on. [ laughter ] moving forward to help create jobs in this country and move the economy and grow the economy? how much time also has been spent obviously on show
11:05 pm
boats to repeal the affordable care act, is, something that the majority of americans have said clearly they don't want to happen. >> now, jay carney is kidding, right? blaming others for wasting time? now, carney is trying to be clever, cast a diversion, blame others. there is only one reason we are still talking about benghazi, because the white house won't answer questions. instead, they have pedaled fraudulent narratives, hidden emails and won't give us the names of the witnesses who were at the consulate at the time of the attack on september 11th so we can even talk to them. it's that simple. fox news chief white house correspondent joins us live from the white house, good evening, ed. >> good to see you. >> ed, tell me what's the sort of the temperature inside the white house in ben baez? they think we are all a bunch of crack pots trying to get information or are they running for cover? >> well, look, i think they are definitely on defense. there is no doubt about it played the clips today. you played some yesterday. john carcinoma of abc news,
11:06 pm
jim acostas, cnn. people pushing on this story that were not a week ago or two weeks ago. they think they are going to get beyond this news cycle and be able to turn the page on it it let's see, i think in their defense the majority of the ben rhodes email was about cairo and the rest of the muslim world, not just focused on benghazi but you are certainly right that benghazi was the flash point here. so, a, to suggest that that was not the focus of everyone's attention at that time is hard to sell, let's put it that way. secondly, to now say that this wynn rhodes email was not about benghazi when in fact it was turned over us a you know because judicial watch, the conservative organization had filed a lawsuit with the state department and said woe want again baez documents the state department turned it over. jay carney said i don't know the procedures at the state department for freedom of
11:07 pm
information requests. i'm not saying he has to know process this is not some rogue agency. it's the obama state department that turned over the documents base on a lawsuit about benghazi. that suggests this document, maybe others, are related to that. >> do you know who put the video into this whole narrative? do we yet know that? i mean, it's a pretty simple question. i assume the white house can can go back through its trail of emails and get that answer. you know, do they -- i mean, do you know who it is? no, we don't have a direct idea of that. i pressed jay carney about the time line today look at it this way. back on 99/12 to was behind this as a terror attack. we are investigating. this working with the libyan government. give us some time here. then why two days later on 9/14 did you have ben rhodes write this email that said it was about the video. that's what he was telling susan rice to say in the talking points a couple days later in the sunday talk
11:08 pm
shows. i don't know who put that idea out there. it was that email at least. we have got to investigate this, we are not really sure. couple days later we're pretty certain it's the video. few days later no actually it was a terror attack according to matt olsen the head of the national terrorist center a few days later as you said on "the view" and letterman and few other places the u.n. speech the president was talking again about the video and not about a terror attack. now, is there something nefarious there? i just don't know. i think we should let the facts speak but why don't we know all of this? >> ed, in reading the ben rhodes email at best. this is total damage control it ♪ an email designed to figure out how to get information out to the american people. they talk about policy to make sure it doesn't look like they have a weak policy. it's total damage control. it is not giving information to the american people. >> well, on one hand i would say yes, that we have to remember the context that
11:09 pm
jay carney didn't talk about today, which is that this was september of 2012, pretty close just a few weeks before a critical re-election battle, obviously with mitt romney it came up in one of the debates. >> let me stop you there. that's what is so disturbing to me. we had four people dead. they weren't just chattel. we didn't have four buildings that burned down in southeast washington or southwest washington. we had four dead americans they are doing damage control. they are not trying to inform the american people. that's what is so disturbing. >> yes. and no yes on the police politi, the election was coming up. they should have been straight and layed it all out there. was it fog of war or deliberate attempt to mislead. we don't know those answers. i want to be careful as a reporter to not stress an opinion. they are within their right to spin it at least put a narrative out there that, you know, in the talking points that ben rhodes put out there. the president is a resolute leader. is he a statesman, he stands up on these things.
11:10 pm
that may have been something to spin. we should acknowledge whether a democrat or republican is in the white house, they want to make their boss look good. i'm not saying it's right. but that politics. but you are certainly right that in this case, what probably draws the ire of a lot of people is that this was not just any political issue or shouldn't have been a political issue at all. instead, it was four dead americans. and so that's why you want straight answers. i think we should also note jay carney pointed out today. remember, it was mitt romney after the michelle attack who did put out a statement blasting the president. was there politics at the white house? yeah. was there politics by mitt romney we should also note, yeah. >> ed, thank you. >> thank you. >> while jay carney was at the podium in the press briefing room. the house oversight committee dancing for answers from a top military intelligence official. >> alive. usama bin laden is dead. al qaeda is on the run. when really they are standing at the front door of our facility in benghazi getting ready to murder our ambassador and burn it down. >> once the first word that
11:11 pm
we have problems at this annex. it could have lasted 12 hours, 24, 48 hours, so the idea that somehow looking back in hindsight and saying oh well, you know, we didn't wouldn't have got therein in time. that doesn't satisfy me. am i wrong in that? >> no, sir. i didn't believe you are. >> did they ever tell to you go save the people in benghazi? >> not to my knowledge, sir. >> we didn't run to the sound of the guns they were issuing press releases. >> ron deisn't a toes, good evening, sir gl p good evening, greta. >> what did you learn today that was new? >> >> i think we have learned in state department hearings that the folks in libya did not have any information about a youtube video. we heard the cia station chief say that the video wasn't an issue. now we hear from the military intelligence community, the guy in charge or the deputy in charge of
11:12 pm
the after afri-con region that this youtube video was a total nonevent. they knew that it was an attack immediately. they suspected ansar al sharia who was an al qaeda linked group. there is really nobody who had any firsthand knowledge of this ever said that it was a youtube video that led to this. >> okay. so there is no youtube video. what difference? >> well, i think the difference is the administration. the higher ups at the state department deceived the american people when he this constantly went over and over again said to the parents of the fallen we are going to get the guy that made this yup video. they deceived the american people. i think that's important. now, of course, in terms of the military response if it is a youtube video. different response thage physical it was a coordinated attack against american individuals the general testimony is
11:13 pm
very clear that's what they saw it as. they were not getting requests from the state department to do very much about it. >> all right. speaker boehner is now calling on secretary of state kerry to testify on the benghazi emails withheld from the subpoena q i assume he is talking about the ben rhodes email that has been surrendered as part of the lawsuit and not provided when it was subpoenaed by the hill. why now? what does he gain from that? >> well, look the administration constantly stonewalls on this stuff and they haven't had to pay a political price. now the press is interested in this a little bit more because this conflicts -- the email conflicts with what jay carney has said previously. so if we can provide additional pressure on the administration, maybe that they will stop stonewalling as much. but, look, i think we should add a select committee from the beginning because we all have alleluia these scatter shot investigations. imagine if we would have had one select committee that could have hammered this day
11:14 pm
in and day out. >> i will tell you, i'm going to take the last word on that, but a lot of people in your party have asked for that from speaker boehner. and that has not been forthcoming. so maybe you better have a little chat with him if you think that's a good idea. i'm taking the last word on that. >> we have tried. >> thank you, sir. a lot of grilling going on today, but our next guest says lawmakers in the media are not asking the right questions about benghazi. lt. colonel oliver north joins us. good evening, sir. you think they are asking the wrong questions, media at congress? >> congress decided today, the first thursday in may would be the national day of prayer. let's start with god help us because we are going to need that after what we saw today we need all we can get. i agree with the full select committee. the committee today did not ask the right question of the general level. he is the senior intelligence officer for after infantry come with responsibility for what's going on. collection of dissemination for the military inside libya. what they have you should have d him wasn't about the talking
11:15 pm
point. we all know they lied. the talking points are bogus. what we know is why they did it because it was not the narrative that they needed for the election. what we don't know is why didn't they prepare for. this 9/11 is going to be a terrorist anniversary for the rest of our days on this planet. it's going to be a time for heightened awareness, increased attention, putting forces into position. the questions that should have been asked were general level did your staff warn people about 9/11? general lufl, did your people communicate with the state department about the threats that ambassador stevens already communicated? one of the big problems, stephens had asked for help and never got it why? >> catherine herridge reported on october 31st that on the 15th of august there was an emergency meeting convened by the u.s. mission in benghazi. and that there was an august 16th cable marked secret that was sent to the state department and what it said in part is that al qaeda training camps in benghazi and consulate could not coordinate attack.
11:16 pm
that's catherine herridge's reporting october 31st, 2012. >> and catherine has kept this issue alive and has focused on the talking points and the bogus and the lies and the narrative of gee, we have got to show obama to be a great states men. the reality of it is this administration is criminally negligent. >> what's a tough accusation. i know a little something about select committees. i have been there. >> i seem to remember do you know something. >> the fact is if they wanted to get the answers, they could, okay? >> why -- >> but the republicans had full power in the house of representatives. they could have done that damn good question. and they should have done it you know what? they can do it now. >> look, you know, this never should have dragged on for two years. absurd. the longer it drags down the more suspicion it created about missing documents. >> disenchantment. >> some would say the obama administration is getting criticized for being
11:17 pm
political in how it responded and cook will that up crazy video thing. the others will say that the republicans doubt it would be politically bad for them to have a select committee. what are the american people supposed to do? >> the american people want and deserve the truth. they deserve accountability. need to know that the recommendations made by quite frankly a committee that included tom pickerring as its co-chairman is going to actually implement those reforms that are asked for so that it doesn't happen again. there has got to be accountability somewhere. where are the people that were -- that perpetrated this attack? they are still wandering around inside libya and elsewhere. no one has been held accountable in our administration nor the perpetrators of the attack. >> there were four murders in georgetown here in washington that were unsolved from a year and a half ago would still be front page news. >> absolutely. >> wield still be wondering who killed the people in georgetown. >> still a select committee and time for it and they need to do it. >> why won't speaker boehner do it. >> you need ask him. get him over here. i will ask him. >> he always has an explanation.
11:18 pm
thank you, greta. >> thank you. >> sharyl attkisson has been all over the benghazi story from the very beginning. what specific questions does she have for the obama administration? sharyl attkisson goes "on the record" next. plus: >> oh my god. [screams] >> this incredible video capturing the moment the earth opened up and swallowed three full cars. you have to seat rest of it you will. stay tuned. stay tuned. oh my god. if i told you that a free ten-second test
11:19 pm
11:20 pm
11:21 pm
could mean less waiting for things like security backups and file downloads you'd take that test, right? well, what are you waiting for? you could literally be done with the test by now. now you could have done it twice. this is awkward. check your speed. see how fast your internet can be. switch now and add voice and tv for $34.90. comcast business built for business. sharyl attkisson was one of the first sharply criticized
11:22 pm
for reported and. vindicated. cheryl at kissson joins us. vindicated yismt it was as criticized adds people. pretty strong and good reporting. interest seemed to have been lost in this story when we were barely scratching the surface in my opinion. >> there was a lot of push back at the white house. we had pushed back. there has been a lot of pressure from the white house at least on us. >> absolutely. i don't see that as neutral criticism of the story. that's the criticism that you get that's expected from the people who see themselves as targets of your reporting. that's what we do. >> ben rhodes' email which the is one that now is the center of today's controversy and yesterday's jay carney says it was not directed of benghazi but broader description what was
11:23 pm
going on middle east at the same time. regardless of whether or not that was the case. the fact is that was the message that was disseminated by top administration officials not just susan rice when they talked about benghazi. >> you reported first and just came out in april though lawsuit against administration. capitol hill had asked for these emails and speaker boehner has is now distressed. he says it wasn't turned over to the when it was subpoenaed. now calling on secretary kerry to testify on benghazi emails withheld from the subpoena request. are you surprised that speaker boehner is doing that? >> i'm not sure what to say about that i'm not surprised this that the documents were withhold. this is a pattern. i too had requested the documents under freedom of information law and they haven't been provided to me even now. even though they have been released by order of a court to another entity and i should receive those two because my request was standing they are flouting
11:24 pm
freedom of information requests on many top polks cock not getting in timely fashion. muscle make sure this happens. but they to some degree in my opinion have accepted this pattern of lack of response and even when documents are provided i believe they got 3200 documented in the last month or so regarding benghazi, in some cases the documents are being kept in a room where members and their staff have to go in, look at them, make handwritten notes like we're in 1925. and leave the room. they are not allowed to copy them, see them electronically, really study them and look at them. for whatever reason the republicans in congress have accepted that deal or the leadership has accepted that deal. i certainly wouldn't. if i, you know, thought that i were entitled to seat documents. i would want to see them and review them as the law allows to us do.
11:25 pm
>> if you could get three questions answered by the administration. what are the three questions? you you have been in this since the very beginning. what do you want to know. >> i want to know the tick tock of what president obama did that night because he is the commander and chief and americans were under attack on foreign soil. embassies in many locations were under threat. i think we is a right to know and they have responsibility to tell us what the commander and chief was doing. they withheld all of that information from us. i would like it see the after action report that was done after the lack of the rescue in benghazi when our men were under attacked in rescued by military. in fact, the there was nothing that they could do that they didn't do. in other words, they did everything they could, evidence has come up since then that they didn't. that is directly contradicts what they say including closed door testimony from military officials who acknowledged there were steps they could have taken but they dismissed them because then they don't know to this day whether they
11:26 pm
would have really worked or not. that belies the claim that everything was done that could have been done. >> how about who put the video in the narrative for ambassador rice that morning? i mean, the cia is denying it. and, you know, nobody has yet sort of stepped forward and say i'm the one that came up with that narrative, which actually is sort of important. because you have sifn rice saying it on the five morning shows and president obama on letterman and then a week later on "the view." >> third important question, maybe top on the list on some respects. what meeting and whose suggestion was it that we're going to ignore all of the witness testimony, the prior warnings, patterns we saw in that area. cia station chief on the ground in libya dismiss all of that and believe tiny j slice of intelligence that quoted press reports dismissed by everybody else. we are going to make this giant intelligence mistake and not say really that we
11:27 pm
are uncertain we are going to go with that video story. yeah, definitely want to know who came one that. >> peculiar, bad enough that ambassador rice said it who came up with it for her for that sunday. how you can have the president of the united states still pushing that narrative when there were so many people, you know, about that time who were dismissing it. debunking it even within the intongetion community he was still going out and using that. >> meeting and strategy. or more than one meeting or strategy developed and disseminated because top federal officials don't ad-lib these things over and over again. using similar wording or the same wording. obviously there was some sort of meeting of the minds. we just don't know how that occurred former president. you have to hear what the former president just said. you will. that's coming up. stick with innovation. stick with power. stick with technology.
11:28 pm
get the flexcare platinum from philips sonicare and save now. philips sonicare feel like a knot. how can i ease this pain?
11:29 pm
(man) when i can't go, it's like bricks piling up. i wish i could find some relief. (announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements. it helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain especially with bloody or black stools the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. bottom line, ask your doctor about linzess today.

11:31 pm
11:32 pm
of this is a fox news alert. california on fire. more than 1,000 acres burning. for the latest we go to fox news correspondent will carr. will? >> good evening, greta. well, this has been a wind driven fire at times there were gusts up to 101 miles per hour. think of randy johnson fast ball so strong that one resident said that a gust actually knocked her off of her feet. as of tonight, more than a thousand acres have burned. fire 10% contained. hoping containment will go up throughout the night. one point yesterday the fire was racing towards some homes in the area. firefighters quickly jumped on top of it though. as of right now it's burning in a pretty remote area. as for the cause, investigators were actually at the ignition point right now trying to figure out exactly what caused this fire. they are hoping to release the cause at some point tonight. greta, can i tell you i just spoke to one firefighter. he tells me they are feeling a lot better tonight than they were this morning. greta? >> will, thank you.
11:33 pm
>> you know it's really bad when the "new york times" is raining all over the obama administration parade. joe abe brasome calling the obama administration the most secretive white house she has ever covered. but that's not all. listen to this. white house correspondents were polled and 42% say they agree with abe brasome, political magazine press core. joining us the jason reilly. a.b. stoddard and political correspondent byron york. i actually thought 42% was low. i correspondents of every administration would say that. >> i think it's gotten worse. the problem is it has gotten progressively worse with each administration. and think about it, you have got benghazi. you have the irs. remember fast and furious. it was incredibly difficult. pulling teeth to get information out of them. obamacare and rollout when things were bad in october and november of last year. impossible to get any numbers out of them. it's not just the press though. you have to remember, remembers of congress if they are the majority party actually have subpoena
11:34 pm
power. have difficulty getting information. >> i think they are weak. if you have a subpoena, talk to congressman trey gowdy. him and i on the same page. kelly ayotte former prosecutors. we don't get that a don't have any teeth because they don't enforce it a.b.? >> i don't think that the relationship covering the white house is not supposed to be easy, okay? >> so no one is under any allusions about the fact that you are going to get easy access to the facts that you are seeking. in termination of access to, you know, information that they are going to get anyway and they shouldn't have to go to another agency to track down, you know, what you hear are complaints about the frustration with not only the attitude of the press operation of the white house but access. the things that are different are a veteran like jill abrahamsom when you come into office like obama did and say you are the most
11:35 pm
transparent as ever. he has broken a promise and sphrus straits the people who cover him. >> i'm with you, greta, 42% seems low when you consider what 80% of the d.c. press corps voted for the guy. i would think the northbound would be a lot higher. given things like the edward snowden leaks. i'm inclined to think obama administration hasn't been secretive enough. at least when it comes to things like national security. what pores me more than secrecy is incompetence. >> you know, for some reason, you know, this whole idea of congress not being able to get information is bizarre to me. you know, it's lining they sort of say well, that's the way it always is. the way we do waste and fraud in this town. journalists stay was only a billion because we are only up to auto billion. we get so complacent. they do have the power, byron if they really exercised it. >> maybe a few well placed subpoenas would do it. shouldn't have to subpoena for everything. nor segment i sent a note to charles grassley's office senior republican in the senate. i said what kind of
11:36 pm
interactions have you had? remember when hillary clinton was the secretary of state? was one of her top aids and she had a special arrangement. special employee at the statement department. also have outside clients corporate clients very funky arrangement. senator grassley wanted to know how many of these special employees do you have at the state department. evidence never found out. it was a couple of years later when a liberal organization got a leak and we finally found out. >> i don't know. i think that they just don't even try, congress. out of any administration. but, panel, let me go to 2016. today former president george w. bush making a big endorsement. >> i hope general -- jeb runs. i think he would be a great president. i have no clue what's on his mind. and we will talk when he is ready. i can guarantee you. he is not looking at a poll to decide whether or not he wants to run. it's internal. he is checking his core. and as he said publicly i'm thinking about my family.
11:37 pm
and, of course, he knows full well what a run for the presidency can do on family. after all he has seen his dad and his brother run for president. i hope he runs. so, hey, jeb, if you need some advice, give me call. >> a.b., that was a jake tapper interview with the president. doesn't anybody talk? >> well, that's sort of interesting. i mean actually if he really loved him. shouldn't he tell him not to run? he was kind of making it clear that haven't gotten around to talking about it. >> you don't find that odd. >> i did find that odd actually. he probably shouldn't have revealed that what's interesting about the bush family the story is they always expected jeb to run at and not george w. he desperately wants his brother to, you know, realize the dream if that's the plan he has. but, at the same time.
11:38 pm
>> i think president bush is being very honest there. i think his brother is weighing a lot of the concern whether he wants to put his family through it. >> he says he doesn't know. i don't know if you have any siblings but wouldn't you talk to your siblings. >> i'm sure he will get around to that. >> jeb might not want to talk to him about it. >> you really don't think? maybe my family would have at least had a fight about it for now. >> the bush family is divided on this. now we know george w. says he wants jeb to run. mrs. bush, matriarch is not so sure she feels there has been enough bushes. george w. bush left office with approval ratings in the 20's. this is not something -- this is something that jeb bush has to consider when he thinks about running because he will certainly be asked time and time again his opinion of things that his brother did as president. this is a very complicated story. >> and his father. >> have george w. bush out front pushing for his brother run for president is not politically a good idea right now. >> okay.
11:39 pm
and the video you you have to see to believe. [screams] >> oh my god. [screams] >> oh my god. [screams] glun believable. entire street collapsing. city parks plummeting. much more of this incredit video coming up. i hope that's not your street. >> oh my god. ♪ foghorn sounds loudly ♪ here's a good one seattle... what did geico say to the mariner? we could save you a boatload! ♪ foghorn sounds loudly ♪ what's seattle's favorite noise? the puget sound! ♪ foghorn sounds loudly ♪ all right, never mind doesn't matter. this is a classic. what does an alien seamstress sew with? a space needle! ♪ foghorn sounds loudly continuously ♪ oh come off it captain! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

a lot of people are were under estimating rob ford. often overestimate him. numbers in the poll, he was polling 25 to 300% in terms of reelect numbers. which are not terrible maybe not as bad as you might expect but not good and those numbers will take a hit with this latest news he is in big trouble. >> i talked that to a reporter in toronto about a couple months ago. she told me all the reporters, they report on his problems but that they all like him, that he is very likeable. >> i don't know if that's true. a lot of people do like him and that is central to his continuing appeal to about a quarter of the population. he has this remarkable ability for, i think, largely based on his personality to engender sympathy and support. people feel bad for him. people feel like they are picking on him. the media the business elites, et cetera.
11:46 pm
i don't know. i don't think the entire city press gallery is especially fond of him. he has been difficult to time with lied to us repeatedly, i don't think that's true. >> he will with, he certainly has trouble because, i mean, smoking crack if that's what he is doing in the video that's a crime. i know he is under criminal investigation and i'm sure the voters in toronto are not particularly impressed with him tonight. daniel, thank you. >> thank you. >> lead all go off the record for a minute. want to talk about a war on women? actually, it's worse. it is a war on girls. and it is going on right now in guy year i -- nigeria. 270 between the ages of 16 and 18 were kidnapped in the middle of the night from the school dorm bed by expected islamist militants. a group known to terrorize women and girls. 50 of these girls managed to escape.
11:47 pm
that means right now 220 are unaccounted for. right now no one knows if the 220 girls were slaughtered or murdered or sold into slavery or marriage. some reporters say they were sold for $12 each. a mid evil kind of slavery capture the girls and sell them. this is the incredible act of cruelty. this is a war on women. where in the world is the world on this one? that's my off-the-record comment tonight. if you have an important story or issue you think i should take off the record go, to gretawire.com and tell us about it and a greying trend on college campuses. students being told to check their privilege. a princeton student is here to tell you what that means and why is he taking down liberals for it. that's next.

it also comes with public wifi for your customers. not so with internet from the phone company. i would email the phone company to inquire as to why they have shortchanged these customers. but that would require wifi. switch to comcast business internet and get two wifi networks included. comcast business built for business. princeton university freshman has taken down liberals over a growing trend on college campuses. freshman king says is many students mostly white males are being told to check their privilege. what does that mean and why is it so disturbing. tal joins us. >> good evening, tal. >> hi. thank you for having me. >> check your privilege what does that mean and secondly what did you write? what's your thesis. >> check your privilege and what that means that's a great question because i don't think the people who are saying check your privilege really know what it means.
11:52 pm
i think it has many different means as lots of things in the social justice movement do. and so they are kind of asking white males and anyone they perceive to be traditionally privileged to not just gather an understanding of other perspectives but to. >> let me stop you there. >> sure. >> i get what your thesis is though is there that there a lot of white males who don't have all these privileges that people might think that they have? is that your thesis and what you wrote. >> that's certainly true. and that it is just as wrong to judge someone simply based on the color of their skin if they are white, as if they are not prejudiced on principle is wrong. and terrible evils have been committed to people of certainly of, you know, people of color. it's a terrible, terrible thing that's happened.
11:53 pm
but it doesn't tell the whole story. >> and i know that you worked hard to get into princeton and your family came from -- your family of holocaust survivors though. you have had some challenges as well i guess is sort of the point of what you wrote. at least what i saw? >> right. i mean the idea that white skin has gotten everything handed to me on a silver platter is laughable because i'm two generations removed from hitler trying to kill my grandparents. >> tal, thank you, the article you wrote that brought our attention to you. thank you, tal. >> thank you. >> okay, everyone, here is what is being hashed out right now. senior prank landing dozens of students in front of a judge. 60 students of teaneck high school arrested for urinating in the holloways. the new jersey student
